Buffet is very good. Cost for adults is right around $17. For the kinds of food, including lamb, that you can get, and the fact that it is a Buffet, it is worth the cost. Taste and variety are great. There is even tea and a kind of rice pudding for dessert. Building and atmosphere are also a plus. read more

This is easily the best Indian food in Boise. The butter chicken is so good, and they run deals for students. Our server Aidan was great and super helpful read more

Very quaint family experience. The food and family interaction was out of this world. Definitely earned my loyalty.

The food is outstanding. I either order lamb or chicken options. The meat is to die for tender. Recently, I had family visiting so put in an order for take out. Indian take out is a standard go-to for these occasions in England. The web site was easy to navigate, and the order was right on time. We picked up rather than have it delivered. Only thing I'd say is if you have a big order, ask one of the wonderful staff members to help you carry it down the steep steps. read more

Figured we'd try another Indian restaurant in the valley. The only option for lunch is the buffet which is sad because they don't offer the Chicken coconut Kurma on the buffet and my GF can only eat a small portion so she enjoys taking home leftovers. The food wasn't very good. I used the buffet as a chance to try different dishes and even my two go too, chicken tikka masala and butter chicken, were not very good at all. Everything lacked much flavor and the flavors they did have, just weren't good. Bland, off food, and cans of soda, was all around and bad meal. Naan bread was ok though. Red Fort in Meridian is so much better read more

Amazing food and very hospitable staff! Owner came and asked how I was doing and made me feel very welcome! Staple of Boise for sure!

We were in Boise for a short trip and picked this spot, so glad we did! We both had the malai kofta (my go-to order) and pretty much all we talked about for the whole meal was how good it was. I had plain naan and my friend had garlic, both were amazing. The rice portions are pretty small so I advise getting naan with your order! A really cool location as well, part of an old building with marble floors connected to other businesses. Service was nice and overall great experience. Thanks! Terrible photo bc I couldn't stop eating it read more

Bombay Grill - Malai kofta - Indian Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Ordered takeout recently. Items were nicely packaged and everything showed up nice and hot. However, this is probably where any of my pros begin and end. Chicken Vindaloo- Requested it at their highest spice level offered for takeout. This dish was quite bland. I didn't notice any type of heat or spices from this gravy. It was basically some slightly overcooked chicken in tomato sauce. One of the weaker vindaloos that's I've tried. No spices, I didn't see any types of chili peppers present. Only spice I may have noticed was cayenne. It might as well have been a mild spice level. One of the blandest vindaloos I've ever had. Dal Tadka- I provided a picture of this dish. I don't think the Dal was even cooked all of the way through as you can tell by my pictures. Runny, undercooked and bland. Minimal spices as well. Ordered hot for spice level, it tasted mild to me. Probably one of my least favorite dal Tadkas I've ever tried. The complimentary rice was even slightly overcooked and flavorless. The naan was okay though. Based on all of this I definitely cannot recommend Bombay. Maybe I ordered the wrong dishes, but I won't be planning a return visit anytime soon. read more

Great find in an old cool building. Really delish food, good service, good choices, kid friendly and we will go back next time in Boise

This is the best Indian buffet in the state hands down. We have been 3 times in the last 2 years and it is getting better and better. Staff are awesome and the food is incredible. I will never go anywhere else. read more

all you can eat is fire and uncle is so chill. fast service and the food is amazing. the only downside was the table next to us kept farting from the butter chicken. read more

So not much to say, the food was very average and forgettable. Not bad, just not noteworthy in any sense. I asked for extra spicy vindalo and what I received was less than a mild, but they insisted it was "extra spicy". I told them it was a 1 on 10. They took it back to spice it up and when they came back they assured me a 10 on 10 spiciness... it was a 6 or 7 at best. Mango lassi was good. Yelp checkin offered a free soda. I turned it down. Honestly the free offer should showcase your cuisine, a small appetizer perhaps. read more

While at downtown Boise, do step into Bombay Grill. The owner, Karan will personally bring to your table the food that his dad has prepared. And it's delicious! And service is top-notch. read more

Bombay Grill - Indian food in PJs can't beat that! Everything was delicious! - Indian Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Incredible, delicious Indian cuisine. I love this place so much. Their buffet is only 11am - 2pm. I will always make time to be able to come here I wish the buffet would happen later in the day, I would be here every week. I've never had a bad experience, service is pretty on top of their game, the ambience is very calm and relaxed. I've brought all my friends here to try them out and every one of them has come back again. read more

Delicious buffet, really shocking to find such good Indian food in Idaho. It costs 17 dollars per person but I'd say that it's worth it if you have an Indian craving. There's an above average number of good dishes and has all the staples. Free chai is awesome too! Ask for extra Naan quick or you'll have a hard time finding service, as they are a bit low on staff read more

We dined in on 1/18 and had a wonderful experience. The chicken tikka was fabulous, saag was great, and the mango lassies were great as well. Best of all was the attentive service and great ambiance. Will definitely be going back! read more

Best food and incredible service. This is a family favorite for us Amazing vegetarian options too! Buttered chicken is my favorite dish.

Located in the historic Idanha building, Bombay Grill's buffet never disappoints. They have a decent variety of delicious dishes including chutneys and salad. They also serve dessert and chai. You are served fresh warm naan and a glass of water upon being seated. The seating is comfortable whether you are there on a date, with friends, or your children. The service is good. I recommend this restaurant. read more

We enjoyed another fantastic meal at the Bombay Grill on Friday. The food was fresh, hot and nicely spiced. The chefs are great! Our waiter Aiden also was so attentive and friendly making our dining experience truly special. read more

$18 for lunch buffet is amazing. Best lunch deal in town. Busy but worth it. Servers have great service too

Hands down one of the best Indian restaurants I have been to in a while. Everyone here were so nice! Got a chance to speak to the chef as well who made sure we got everything we needed. Even though they were short staffed the service was excellent! And the food--- unbelievable. We ordered a bunch of dishes expecting to take left overs home. Yeah, that didnt happen! We over ate because everything we ordered was finger licking good. We got the dal tadka, lamb, chicken curry, paneer tikka masala and kheer for dessert. If you are looking for authentic Indian food look no further! read more

Hours on google and yelp indicate that it's open but it's closed. They don't even answer the call.

What a gem Boise is gifted with. Their lunch buffet is an excellent way to try all the dishes and familiarize yourself with what the Indian dishes are, so when you order from menu you know! Owners and staff are so kind and welcoming too. Sorry, wish I had taken photo, but lunch was fast and furious. read more

Food is amazing! The butter chicken is to die for! Really love the space it's located in. It's cozy and the staff if great too.

I am Indian and I live in Bay area where we have a really good Indian food, so my review might be a little bit tough. The food here was mediocre at the best. If you ever get freshly cooked Indian food it's a totally another level. Food at this restaurant wasn't that. If this is your first experience to Indian food, don't benchmark your Indian food based on this restaurant. read more

We're from out of town and the Lunch buffet was very good, a lot of choices and we left with a happy mouth!

What a disappointment for tonight's take-out dinner, particularly the tandoori chicken that smelled and tasted like a sweet BBQ sauce and ketchum infused chicken stir fry of sorts. My all time cuisine of India is the tandoori chicken because of the earthy spices and exotic flavors unmatched by anything, but this one unfortunately was underwhelming in so many ways. We will try tandoori chicken elsewhere. Dear Paramvir, Thank you for your kind consideration. Somehow I'm unable to reply directly to your response and will use this initial post platform instead. Your willingness to provide a refund & the fact that you communicated my experience to your chef speak volumes. Thank you. I'll pass on the refund and when your tandoori chicken reviews on Yelp consistently gain 5 stars, I'll give Bombay Grill another try. read more

Why am I just now finding out about their lunch buffet?!? It is glorious. When my friends invited me out for Indian food, I was anticipating we would sit down, wait a few minutes, order, wait a few minutes, and then eat. What we experienced was far from that - we walked in, dropped our coats at our table, walked over to the buffet, filled our plates to our heart's content, sat down, ate, and then repeated the last four steps for good measure. ;) The whole set up is genius - the restaurant is downtown (making it an ideal lunch spot), wait-time for food is pretty much non-existent, it's affordable considering what you get (around $12), and it is delicious! I tried a little bit of everything - the tikka masala, butter chicken, a vegetable curry, fried rice, chai tea, and these fried vegetable things. Oh. My. Gaaaaah. Let me tell you about the fried vegetables (I wish I could recall the actual name of the dish) - they were somethin' else, in a good way. Everything was good - but those were my favorite thing I tried. I cannot say too much regarding service seeing as it was a buffet. Our server did stop by several times and refill our waters/take away old plates - so I assume that if it were a normal dining experience service would be prompt! I also cannot say much about coming here for dinner as all I've experienced was their lunch buffet - and well, after the last few paragraphs you already know how I feel about that! *Heart eyes* read more

Bombay Grill - A bit o everything from their lunch buffet - Indian Near Me - Boise, Idaho

We were in Boise (from LA) playing the Tree Fort festival and we're looking for a decent restaurant and I saw this on Yelp and had a good Frei g about it. It by far bypassed our expectations. It was excellent. Really fresh and good food. And they made room for all of us (I think that we were 12 people). All of us loved it. And the service was great. If you get to Boise, and want good Indian food, this is your spot. read more

Indian person here. This place is gross. Dirty forks, dirty plates and a fly. They were able to remedy the first two easily, the fly however was another issue. They handed my husband a fly swatter and told him to swat away the fly if it came back within reach. Stay away! read more

My family has been going to Bombay Grill regularly for a decade at least. It is one of our favorite places to be. The food is incredible and the family that runs Bombay is very kind and capable. We've spent many birthdays and anniversaries there. Bombay Grill has catered several large events for us and they've done an amazing job. During the height of covid, we had food delivered from them regularly. Sometimes we order a bunch of meals from them for lunches and dinners throughout the week. There is no other place we like to eat nearly as much. Their buffet is the best Indian buffet I've ever had, and it serves the needs of our whole family, which includes vegetarians and picky eaters. Singh (the owner and chef) always makes us feel like family, as I'm sure other folks who go there regularly also feel. I have no idea how he accomplishes what he does. His sons have become our friends, and they also bring a bright and sweet spirit to the place. Running a restaurant has to be extremely challenging. Because we've been going so long, we've experienced the occasional off-moment (usually due to a substitute chef), but they have been far, far outweighed by positive experiences. Bombay Grill has been a very consistent, lovely presence in our life. Thank you guys for doing what you do! read more

We crave Indian Food and, where ever we, we look for places where we can get it. We are very pleased to have found the Bombay Grill. The staff is pleasant and the food is great. We moved to Boise from a much more densely populated area about a year ago. In our old location, it was hard to find good Indian food - there were ~6 places within 10 miles that served Indian food. The good restaurants would come and go, or the good chefs would move on. Most of the time, we would find ourselves wishing we could go out for predictably good food - it would be hit or miss. We are happy with the Bombay Grill and I feel like it is at least as good as any Indian restaurant that we have visited in our previous home location or while traveling. We have visited the Bombay Grill ~6 times so far. I see some of the other reviews and would say that, - yes, the building is old and the furnishings a bit dated...but that is not what I care about. I'd say it has character. - no, I have not noticed any cleanliness issues and I am on the look out for that type of thing. - yes, Indian food can vary a lot depending upon the specialty/region of the owners. I'd say, the food here is doing a darn good job at representing the Bombay region - as advertised! read more

We reached here at 8pm on a Tuesday on our way from Salt Lake City to Seattle. The decor is a bit dated but staff's enthusiasm and politeness more than makes up for it. The menu is limited, in a good way, it is a mix of north and South Indian food but doesn't contain every single dish I had heard of. We ordered chai, veg appetizer platter, chicken tikka and kadhai paneer with a garlic naan and an onion kulcha. Chai was perfectly made, not too sweet and smelled like cardamoms. Chicken tikka gravy was one of the buttery-iest, silkiest and tastiest gravy we ever tasted. Paneer was great too. Over all an unexpectedly great tasting food. We would happily stop again when we cross Boise next time. The chef/owner (?) came up to chat with us too and gave us really fatherly advice for being careful on the interstate. Really appreciated the food and his advice. read more

Absolutely amazing food, service, and beautiful environment!! I know good Indian food...I've traveled to restaurants all around the United States and this is my favorite! Another bonus that I've never seen at any other Indian Restaurant is that the chai tea comes with the buffet! I'm so glad I live here because I come at least twice a week read more
